Fight over solar farm flares up

Our new toxic neighbor?

Neighbors say project will worsen flooding in Cornell Heights

Pollution from proposed hazardous waste plant could affect air and water in Hamilton

By RoB antHes ranthes@communitynews.org The Ewing-Lawrence Sewerage Authority officials probably thought a good deal had fallen into their laps when a vendor approached them in 2015 about installing a cost-saving solar farm to power their facility in Lawrence Township. But the project has set off a battle that has spanned multiple years and government boards, and has ramifications for residents in three Mercer County municipalities. The proposed solar farm has touched a nerve in particular with its neighbors in Hamilton’s Cornell Heights development and, counterintuitively, with environmentalists, who have said the project would worsen an already-bad flooding problem in the area. The developer is currently considering its next step—including taking the township to court. At the center of the issue is 40 acres of heavily wooded land on Sweet Briar Avenue, technically located in Hamilton Township but adjacent to the ELSA plant in Lawrence. The vendor, Synnergy LLC, proposes to remove 820 large trees from 12 acres of the property to make room for a solar farm. State law says solar farms must be on or adjacent to the facilities they serve, and SynSee SOLAR, Page 22

The accidental activist Steinert grad ‘went with the flow’ to find jobs with Obama, Funny or Die By scott moRGan Brad Jenkins has lived a pretty good life so far, but not because he really set out for it. “I’ve never made intentional choices,” Jenkins said. “I just went along with the flow.” See if you think that approach has worked out: Jenkins got a pretty good gig in the financial world, despite not really knowing anything about it; he got

hired for a job in San Francisco, though he didn’t seek it out; he worked at the Obama White House, despite that he and his wife had just wanted to make friends with Obama supporters; he hobnobbed with celebrities while producing one of the most popular web shows in history, despite not even knowing what a producer did; he has a Wikipedia page, even though it still surprises him to no end; and he now runs a business that could help reshape how political candidates and causes communicate, despite that he’d never really considered running his own company. Jenkins’ story could be a

useful fable for anyone who wonders how a guy from Hamilton might ever contribute to the world at large—and how putting a little effort into high school could get you someplace in life. The unapologetically leftleaning and left-cause activist Jenkins attended Steinert High School in the 1990s. Life was eventful for him then, too. He played basketball with another Steinert grad with a Wikipedia page, Dahntay Jones—a former NBA player who won a championship for the Cleveland Cavaliers alongside some other guy named LeBron. Jenkins said See JENKINS, Page 14

The next few weeks mark a crucial juncture for a proposed toxic waste treatment plant in Bucks County that environmentalists say would pollute the air and potentially the drinking water of nearby New Jersey towns. Israel-based Elcon Recycling Services has plans to build a facility in Falls Township that would store and treat nearly 200,000 tons per year of hazardous and residual waste. This includes mercury, lead, cadmium, benzine, vinyl chloride and 260 other chemicals. Elcon says the facility is safe and “ecofriendly,” and has touted the 150 temporary construction jobs and 55 full-time jobs that would be created by the facility. But nearby residents say the loss of a few dozen jobs is a small price to pay to ensure the health and safety of the region. Many of them speak from experience, and worry that the same towns that woke up covered with red dust from the Fairless Works steel mill in the mid-20th century would be in the path of pollution from Elcon’s stack. If built, the plant would be near the Delaware River, directly across from Hamilton Township and upwind from Bordentown City. See TOXIC, Page 16

INBOX Help Stamp Out Hunger on May 11 Saturday, May 11 marks the 27th anniversary of one of America’s great days of giving — the National Association of Letter Carriers Stamp Out Hunger Food drive. Letter carriers walk through the community every day, often coming face to face with a sad reality for too many, hunger. So, each year on the second Saturday in May, letter carriers across the country collect nonperishable food donations from our customers. These donations go directly to local food pantries to provide food to people in Hamilton who need our help. Last year, we collected over 80 million pounds of food nationally, feeding an estimated 64 million people. Over the course of its 26-year history, the drive has collected well over one billion pounds of food, thanks to a postal service universal delivery network that spans the entire nation, including Puerto Rico, Guam and U.S. Virgin Islands. The need for food donations is great. Currently, 49 million Americans—one in 6—are unsure where their next meal is coming from. Sixteen million are children who feel hunger’s impact on their overall health and ability to perform in school. And nearly 5 million seniors over age 60 are food insecure, with many who

live on fixed incomes often too embarrassed to ask for help. Our food drive’s timing is crucial. Food banks and pantries often receive the majority of their donations during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons. By springtime, many pantries are depleted, entering the summer low on supplies at a time when many school breakfast and lunch programs are not available to children in need. Participating in this year’s Letter Carrier Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive is simple. Just leave a nonperishable food donation in a bag by your mailbox on Saturday, May 11 and your letter carrier will do the rest. With your help, letter carriers and the US Postal Service have collected over 1.5 billion pounds of food in the United States over our first 26 years as a national food drive. Please help us in our fight to end hunger, as we celebrate our 27th anniversary year in America’s great day of giving.

JENKINS continued from Page 1 the game plan back then was simple: “Get the ball to Dahntay.” His less-than-starring role on the Steinert boys’ team gave him more time to concentrate on school, where he took part in the Government And Law Related Experiences program, which introduces students to the world of politics. GALRE has become one of the whistlestops for New Jersey’s political candidates, and it clearly came in handy for Jenkins’ eventual job with Barack Obama. But Jenkins didn’t have any designs on going into politics, despite the class. He graduated in 1999 and went to the University of Virginia to study English and theater. He had a plan to be an actor. So after he graduated from UVA, he moved to New York City. “The only job I could get was this job at a law firm at World Financial Center,” he said. The plan, such as it was, was to go on auditions while he worked as a legal assistant for a boutique firm named Richards Kibbe and Orbe LLP that specialized in trading. “It turned out I really, really liked the job,” he said. “And there were a lot of kids like me, with a liberal arts background who took the job to live in New York City.” His acting career was progressing well enough to get him a promotion at the law firm. He found himself running a whole team doing the back office stuff on trades. He also found Marina, whom he married, and who, herself, is now the litigation director for Eric Holder and

14Hamilton Post | May 2019

Brad Jenkins worked for Barack Obama and for website Funny Or Die. He recently started his own company, Enfranchisement Productions. Barack Obama’s National Democratic Redistricting Committee. Jenkins, who “took maybe one economics class” in college did a good enough job at RK&O to get a new one at JPMorgan, to work with hedge funds. “I told my then-girlfriend, ‘I don’t think they know that I don’t know much about this,” he said. But he worked there for a couple years, until Marina got into law school at Stanford. So, west they went, and Jenkins found a job at another

hedge fund. Because they were new to the Bay Area, and because they both “really dug Obama,” they volunteered for the future president’s campaign—not at all expecting that he’d be a real contender. Their motivation? “Let’s go to this thing and meet some people,” he said. “Then we drank the Kool-Aid. We fell in love with all of it.” One of the stipulations for being active at “Camp Obama” was to host a house

party to help spread the word. Unintentionally, Brad and Marina ended up being the top organizers in Silicon Valley. And with a healthy base built among tech pros, angel investors, and activists, the Obama movement grew on the idealism of its 100-percent-volunteer staff. Now, in case you’re still wondering whether someone from Hamilton can find a life path with national and global implications, let’s talk about a phone call Jenkins got from an old friend. When Obama locked up the nomination for the Democrats, a Steinert (and GALRE) classmate, Mike Moffo called Jenkins from Chicago. Moffo was Obama’s deputy field director for Chicago, and he wanted Jenkins to be his own deputy. So Jenkins left the hedge fund and moved to Illinois (while Marina finished law school) to help build a campaign to entice the youth vote. They put together programs and events that involved text message campaigns, appearances, online registration, celebrities, and street art. That soon took Jenkins and Moffo, and Moffo’s brother, Chris, another old friend from Steinert and who worked on the Joe Biden side of the campaign, to Washington, D.C. “We ended up working at the White House for Mike’s boss,” Jenkins said. That was Valerie Jarrett, who ran the Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs for Obama. Jenkins’ job was to liaise with celebrities, businesspeople, artists, and activist. That included getting to know Mike Far-

rah, who ran the website/show “Funny or Die.” Ever seen Zach Galifanakis on the show “Between Two Ferns?” Well, that’s Funny or Die, and Jenkins’ most standout moment from his time in the Obama White House is when he finally helped get the president between those two ferns. “I really, really pushed initially for him to do this,” Jenkins said of Obama. Getting it through was a significant cultural moment that had bigger effects on policy. See, this was still in the time when the healthcare overhaul, a.k.a. Obamacare, was fresh and the White House was looking to convince young, healthy people that they needed to buy into the system too, or else it wouldn’t work. Jenkins and his bosses and coworkers had actually been trying to do that through the healthcare.gov website, but the rollout was badly flawed and things didn’t go so well for about two months. So to reach the young, healthy and hip, Jenkins pushed to put the president on a web show that usually got 10 million to 20 million views per episode. When Obama did appear, on the 18th episode of Season One, he plugged healthcare.gov, which helped convince many of those young, healthy and hip viewers to enroll. That episode, by the way, is roundly considered the most memorable of the series and has more than 25 million views on YouTube. You can also read Jenkins’ own version of the story of this episode in the book West Wingers: Stories from the Dream Chasers, Change Makers, and Hope Creators Inside the Obama White House that was released in September. What came out of the Obama episode for Jenkins was, he found out he was a producer now. “Mike Farrah told me, ‘You’re a wired producer,’” Jenkins said. “I didn’t even know what a producer was. He said, ‘Somebody who makes sure the project doesn’t die, is what a producer is.” So with another new job he hadn’t anticipated—or even understood before he got it—Jenkins went on to produce several projects for Joe Biden and Michelle Obama, and other episodes of Funny or Die featuring celebs like Christina Hendricks talking about equal pay and Kristen Bell talking about minimum wage. “Mike (Farrah) looked at me and said, ‘We essentially built this new line of business for Funny or Die,’” Jenkins said. It was a different concept. Not just short funny videos. Not sponsored content. But branded entertainment. That concept itself had existed in music and TV, but not in politics. Jenkins and Farrah realized they had something new—a way, Jenkins said, to do social good through smart, funny videos. Post-Obama, Jenkins stayed with

Funny or Die, and still lives in Washington, although now his wife has joined him and the two are raising their two children. His latest big splash in the political comedy realm was the effort to “Glam Up the Midterms,” a campaign featuring comedian Billy Eichner. The campaign sought to convince people of the importance of voting by “glamming up” the usually unsexy reality of elections. Nobody’s sure exactly what measurable effect the campaign might have had on voter turnout, but the 2018 midterms for sure did see a lot of it. Jenkins, however, said the campaign got “tens of thousands” of voters to commit to going to the polls, whoever they voted for. By this point, you should be less than surprised to learn that Jenkins has found another avenue he hadn’t set a course for. As a result of his work with politicians and entertainers at Funny or Die, more serious project pitches started coming in. “They were less Funny or Die and more documentary-style,” he said. “They didn’t make sense for Funny or Die.” Jenkins wanted to do more straightforward projects that carry some social good—like a project he’s working on now that discusses civil rights issues for sexual assault survivors featuring Amanda Nguyen, a 2019 Nobel Prize nominee for her work to get laws concerning sexual assault investigations and access to rape kits passed at the state level in about 20 states. That project is under the auspices of Enfranchisement Productions, Jenkins’ own production company. That was another suggestion from Mike Farrah, he said. “Mike told me, ‘You should just start your own agency,’” he said, to take on the more serious projects that Funny or Die wasn’t right for. Enfranchisement Productions is up to four projects so far, though Jenkins is closing out two outstanding ones with Funny or Die. What he wants to do with his company is, ironic as it might sound, tap into what Donald Trump has managed to do—connect with people on a fundamental level through new media. While he’s not a fan of Trump— though his parents are, and it makes for lively conversation, he said—Jenkins said that Trump was able to tap into the bubbling feeling among millions of people that the status quo wasn’t working anymore. Someone needed to set the house on fire and spark change. Whether you think it’s been good or bad change is another discussion, but it’s hard to find anyone who feels indifferent about politics in 2019. And that’s the energy Jenkins wants to capitalize on, that motivation to get out and do something. Will it work? Well, Jenkins doesn’t have a crystal ball. But then, he’s never been one to plot things out too far ahead.

‘We drank the Kool-Aid. We fell in love with all of it.’ –Brad Jenkins, a Steinert alumnus on working for Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign

the air with the gases expelled by the stack. The particulate matter eventually falls to ground level, where it can be inhaled by people or enter water sources like rivers and streams. “Air pollution and hazardous waste accidents do not know New Jersey from Pennsylvania,” said Russell Zerbo, advocacy coordinator for Clean Air Council, an environmental nonprofit based in Philadelphia. “It doesn’t turn around at the state line.” PADEP doesn’t factor in such information, though, when considering proposals like Elcon’s. Its rules require a strict focus on the facility and land itself as they relate to the permits Elcon seeks. PADEP doesn’t consider the potential danger of waste traveling to or from the facility, nor does it consider the existing pollution burden on the area of the application. Elcon says concerns about the facility and PADEP’s limitations are unfounded. “Elcon believes that its applications comply with all of the applicable regulations and that it has taken many steps to go beyond what is required by the regulations in an effort to address public concerns,” said Joel Bolstein, an environmental lawyer at Fox Rothschild, the Philadelphia law firm that represents Elcon. “Also, Elcon believes the facility is properly zoned, and it can fully comply with all applicable local ordinances.” Elcon has taken plenty of steps to appease critics, including conducting voluntary pollution and spill modeling, agreeing to install monitoring systems in the facility’s stack and even making plans to elevate the facility above the 100-year and 500-year floodplains. Elcon also says it will not take fracking, medical or radioactive waste. The company agreed to install groundwater monitoring wells and impermeable liner and a shut-off valve in its stormwater basin. The facility itself will have zero wastewater discharges, according to PADEP. During its attempts to build new facilities elsewhere in the world, Elcon took similar steps to win over local residents, with no luck. Elcon says it has developed “the most eco-friendly way to treat hazardous liquid waste streams.” If its literature is accurate, that is true at least compared to alternatives, such as incineration and deep-well injection. The company says its emissions will be “99.9 percent free of contaminants,” “will not be a major source of nitrogen oxides” and “will not have an adverse impact on air quality or ‘ozone days’ in Bucks County or surrounding areas in Pennsylvania.” Some of those claims are misleading, though. An air dispersion model released by the company voluntarily in February 2019 says Elcon will release carbon monoxide, lead, sulfur dioxide and particulate matter into the air. A plan approval document submitted to PADEP in October 2018 also says Elcon wants permission to emit 10 tons per year of hydrochloric acid. When released as a gas, hydrochloric acid can mix with water in the atmosphere, resulting in acid rain. It can also appear in what is called a dry deposition, where acidic particles react with the atmosphere to form larger particles that can be harmful

Signs opposing the Elcon toxic waste processing plant, such as this one on Crosswicks Street, are a common sight in Bordentown City. (Staff photo by Samantha Sciarrotta.) to human health, according to the federal Environmental Protection Agency. The October 2018 plan approval document also states Elcon’s intent to release 23.4 tons per year of nitrogen oxides, just under the EPA standard for a major polluter. Elcon contradicts its own claims in a footnote on the same page, saying it is seeking permission to emit nitrogen oxides at the EPA major polluter standard of 25 tons per year. Elsewhere in the 313-page document are dozens of pages of testing results from its facility in Israel written in Hebrew, without further explanation. Elcon’s claims regarding air quality are perhaps the most alarming when considering its proposed nitrogen oxides emission and what it might do to the air quality in the area. Nitrogen oxides are a major contributor to the development of ground-level ozone. Also known as smog, ground-level ozone is a dangerous pollutant. According to the EPA, ground-level ozone can cause health issues including damaging airways and aggravating existing lung diseases such as asthma, emphysema and chronic bronchitis. The EPA says ground-level ozone continues to damage the lungs even when the symptoms have disappeared. Even without Elcon, the Trenton region has some of the worst air quality in the country. According to the American Lung Association, Mercer County had 29 high ozone days in the last three years, the worst in New Jersey. This distinction takes on increased importance when considering that New Jersey as a state fails federal standards for air quality. Of the 15 New Jersey counties tracking ground level ozone, 11 did not meet American Lung Association standards, including Mercer County. Bucks County, meanwhile, had 28 high ozone days in the last three years, tied for the worst in Pennsylvania. Neighboring Philadelphia County also had 28 high ozone days. Burlington County does not track air quality. But, with Mercer County just to the north and Bucks County to its immediate west, Burlington County has some of the worst ground-level ozone levels in the United States around it. The region as a whole belongs to the Newark-NYC and Philadelphia-Camden regions, the 10th

and 25th worst for ozone in the country. Because of this, Elcon has met resistance from residents in the area ever since it first submitted an application in 2014. In fact, Hamilton Township and Trenton are the only neighboring municipalities without a resolution opposing it. Hamilton Township council president Jeff Martin, in an email, said he wasn’t aware of the Elcon proposal until contacted by the Hamilton Post about it. Martin said he reached out to Hamilton’s state representatives to see what, if anything, the state can do to protect New Jersey residents from the facility. One of them, Assemblyman Daniel Benson,

in turn questioned New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Catherine McCabe about Elcon during her budget testimony before the Assembly in April. McCabe said she would look into it, and get back to Benson. There already had been action at the state level prior to Martin’s inquiry, however symbolic it is. In 2016, Herb Conaway and Troy Singleton, who then represented Bordentown in the Assembly, introduced a bill opposing Elcon’s construction. Linda Greenstein, who represents Hamilton, submitted an identical bill to the Senate. Neither made it to the floor for a full vote. Conaway tried again in October 2018, this time with the backing of Carol Murphy (D-Burlington), Verlina ReynoldsJackson (D-Mercer) and Anthony Verrelli (D-Mercer). Singleton, now a state senator, introduced the same bill in the senate. Both await votes in committee. The freeholder boards in Burlington County and Mercer County have also adopted a resolution opposing the construction of Elcon’s facility. These resolutions are about the extent of action that can be taken in New Jersey. “It’s really fortunate New Jersey residents have gotten involved with this,” said Zerbo of Clean Air Council. “Legally, people in New Jersey really don’t have much they can do in this process. You have to have this fight in the court of public opinion and apply as much pressure as possible.” A facility of this type often attracts See TOXIC, Page 18

long before Elcon relocated there— found higher rates of miscarriages, prenatal deaths, respiratory problems and birth defects among Bedouin in the area, according to a report by Al-Jazeera. The report added that residents have noticed a prevalence of other health issues, including cancer, childhood asthma, eye infections and infertility. This is the only place in the world where Elcon’s process is used to treat toxic waste. Not much is known about how Elcon’s process works and how it would scale to the larger facility proposed for Falls Township. Elcon has been in its new location in Israel for several years now, but the facility hasn’t come up to full operation yet, Stine said. It currently treats 120,000 tons of aqueous industrial waste, just more than half the amount proposed for Falls Township. Despite this, Elcon has focused for nearly a decade on expanding its reach. The search for a place amenable to a second Elcon location has spanned two continents. From 2011 until 2015, Elcon targeted several towns in the northern Italian province of Lombardy, including Castellanza, 17 miles from the city center of Milan. In Castellanza, the project faced stiff opposition. Residents protested for more than two years, organizing marches with hundreds of people, jamming local squares. Elcon eventually backed down, pulling the proposal in March 2014, according to Italian news outlet Varese News. At the same time, in 2011, Elcon approached the municipal government in Lakewood, Ocean County, about building a plant there. During a May 26, 2011 meeting of the local council, Elcon representatives said Lakewood was attractive because it was “well situated along the pharmaceutical belt that runs essentially from Philadelphia up to New York,” according to official minutes from the meeting. Ultimately, Lakewood rejected Elcon. So, company officials turned their attention to a place they thought would be more agreeable: Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Elcon submitted a proposal in 2014 for 33 acres of a former steel mill along the Delaware River in Falls Township. The surrounding industrial park already included several landfills, incinerators and manufacturing plants. Elcon seemed to fit in just fine there. “One of the foolish things industry has said is if you use chemicals in your life, you have to accept this facility here,” Zerbo said. “This area has an immense waste burden. They have done nothing but literally dump on Falls Township since U.S. Steel closed.” *** Falls Township owes much of its history to 3,800 acres of former farmland abutting the Delaware River.

HEAVIEST AIR POLLUTION IMPACT Proposed Elcon Plant Location

Tracking air pollution is extremely complex, but the general rule is pollution affects a 30-mile radius from the source. With the prevailing wind going west to east, New Jersey could suffer the bulk of the effects from the proposed Elcon toxic waste facility. (Graphic by Stacey Micallef.) on the strength of the complex’s mission to fill the brownfield with environmentally friendly projects. Green energy companies, like AE Polysilicon and Gamesa Energy, came to Falls Township. A large data center opened there. There was talk of turning some parcels into large solar farms. For the effort, the Keystone Industrial Port Complex won the 2010 Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence. In 2018, PADEP announced that the complex had entered into a Sustainability Partnership with EPA, a pledge to reduce waste, natural resource consumption and energy use. PADEP lauded KIPC as a success, but by that point it hardly resembled the green industrial zone it set out to be. Falls Township, in particular, sought to attract a wider range of industry to KIPC, having changed its zoning laws in 2008 to allow for hazardous waste and landfill operations on the site. There are more than 50 companies there now, including steel manufacturers, medical marijuana facilities, material suppli-

ers, scrap metal yards, salt distributors and chemical labs and warehouses. In the same area, there are three landfills, a contaminated soil incinerator and a municipal waste incinerator. All are adjacent, but not all are included in KIPC. Development isn’t finished at the site, either. Zerbo said Waste Management, which runs the landfills, wants to construct new gas flares in the area. Gas flares are a way for landfills to burn off waste gases created by the facility. Waste gases usually are a mixture of methane, carbon dioxide and other substances. And, of course, there’s the possibility of Elcon. Across the Delaware River, the residents of Bordentown City wonder what the effect on them will be. When U.S. Steel was open, they would wake up with red dust covering their houses, particulate from the plant. In recent years, Bordentown City has been subject to strong, unpleasant odors coming from the landfills and industry in Falls Township. On the homepage of the Bordentown City website, alongside listings for community events, is an image of a fish and a dirty sock with “Reporting Offensive Odor” written above it. A link leads to a webpage with phone numbers residents can call to report bad smells, including the DEP in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The Bordentown City deputy mayor, Brodowski, knows the effect industry across the river has had on his constituents, and worries what Elcon might bring. He has been a vocal presence at meetings about the Elcon project and has tried to rally people to fight against

the proposal. There are many things about Elcon’s quest to come to Falls Township that don’t sit well with him, among them the existence of a “green” industrial park where a toxic waste treatment plant could be a viable tenant. “Really, there should be some sort of accountability for that,” Brodowski said. “There was a bait-and-switch along the way.” The KOIZ status for the Keystone Industrial Port Complex site expired Dec. 31, 2018. Environmentalists like Zerbo expect Elcon to seek the tax incentives anyway, citing the fact that the applications for the facility were filed well before the KOIZ benefits lapsed. But there’s a chance the KOIZ era is over in Falls Township. And to Brodowski, who has seen and heard stories about his city bearing the brunt of the industry along the Falls Township side of the river for decades, it’s a chance to change direction. “When you start digging into it, it’s a bigger problem than just one facility,” Brodowski said. “It may be a really good opportunity for the state and Falls Township to reevaluate what is happening in that complex because it has gone in the wrong direction.” *** Those who have been fighting Elcon from the beginning see the next few weeks as the chance to gain ground in a battle against an unyielding opponent. “There are glimmers of hope all over the place,” Brodowski said. “There are many bodies who could put a stop to it.

It was there, in March 1951, that United States Steel opened a mill. Dubbed the Fairless Works, the factory employed thousands of people, and attracted scores of families to the surrounding area. Two new housing developments were built in Falls Township to satisfy the demand: one with 1,100 units called Fairless Hills and another with 4,000 homes named Levittown. The population of Falls Township increased tenfold, from 3,000 to 30,000, during this time. U.S. Steel stayed a major employer in the area for two decades. It began decreasing operations at Fairless Works in 1973, though, sending Falls Township searching for the next use for the land that was so vital to its growth and economy. In 1970, further south along the river, a 46-acre landfill opened. It became a key moment for the future of riverside development in Falls Township. The landfill continued to expand, eventually reaching its current 566 acres. Fairless Works remained opened in a decreased capacity until 2001, at which point U.S. Steel began cleaning up and subdividing the polluted property it left behind. Pennsylvania stepped in four years later, in 2005, to sweeten the pot by designating the complex a Keystone Opportunity Investment Zone. As a KOIZ, the renamed Keystone Industrial Port Center would receive a substantial reduction in local and state taxes. In exchange, the KOIZ had to create a plan to attract development to the former U.S. Steel land. Similar deals were struck across Pennsylvania as part of a larger umbrella program, the nearly identically named Keystone Opportunity Zone program. KOZ began in 1998 as a limited-run initiative to boost depressed areas. Initially, experts hailed the program as the model for stimulating economic development. But, in June 2009, the Pennsylvania General Assembly’s Legislative Budget and Finance Committee released a study that painted a different picture. The KOZ program had “overstated” job creation and capital investment figures, the study said. It concluded that “many KOZ participants and their associated KOZ projects provide little, if any, job creation or capital investment in return for the KOZ tax exemptions/abatement benefits they receive.” The government still hailed the KOIZ in Falls Township as a success, though,

TOXIC continued from Page 19 It’s just frustrating how long it’s been going on, and it’s still happening.” The Falls Township supervisors were scheduled to hear the proposal for the first time during a much anticipated April 30 meeting. The board said in a press release it couldn’t take action on Elcon before the company submitted a formal land development plan. Then, the PADEP review of Elcon’s Phase II applications ends in May, triggering the start of a 45-day period for public comment on the project. “It’s going to be a short public comment period,” Zerbo said. “If you’re concerned about the prospect of having a toxic waste facility basically in the Delaware River, you need to be talking to your neighbors and your public officials now.” But no matter what the government decides, it won’t be the end of Elcon most likely. The company’s Falls Township proposal has been denied by PADEP three times already, once in 2015 and twice in 2017. Elcon and its critics are gearing up for a lengthy legal battle should Falls Township rule against the proposal. Brodowski said Elcon’s attorneys hinted as much March 26 after the Falls Township planning commission voted to not recommend the project. Delaware Riverkeeper Network has been soliciting donations to fight Elcon in preparation for this moment. A crowdfunding campaign by the nonprofit in early April gained $15,282. Even going as far back as March, Stine had been recommending that

A toxic waste treatment facility proposed for the complex would be built directly across the Delaware River from Hamilton, and could have effects on air quality in the township. (Staff photo by Samantha Sciarrotta.) municipalities share services and legal representation against Elcon. He noted that some municipal governments—particularly Bordentown City’s—have been more active than others in the fight. “Bordentown City can’t shoulder all the burden to benefit all these towns,” Stine said. The likelihood that a legal battle might ensue is increased by the fact that PADEP can only deny the project on the specifics of Elcon’s application. It doesn’t consider the logistics involved of getting the waste to or from Elcon, or any scenarios outside normal operations, such as a

spill or accident. PADEP can only look at what Elcon has provided to it. Critics worry about this, particularly because Elcon has made a lot of promises it can easily break without penalty once it builds a facility. Elcon has said it will accept waste from 10 states, but there’s nothing stopping it from widening its service area. It has said it will ship waste to specialized landfills, but Elcon can save money by getting a waiver to reclassify the waste coming out of its facility as not hazardous, and dispose of the treated waste in existing landfills nearby. The company has repeatedly said it will not accept waste from fracking, but Brodowski said the proposed facility will have the capability to handle it, leaving Elcon’s word as the only barrier to entry into the fracking industry. Pennsylvania is one of the top states for fracking in the country, providing a large, local market should Elcon change its mind. Even enforceable pollution limits are often a suggestion. Zerbo said the precedent is there, with facilities in KIPC already exceeding air pollution regulations and paying the fines as “the cost of doing business.” There are also lots of details Elcon has yet to release or possibly even decide, such as where exactly it will be sending the waste or the routes the full tanker trucks will take to and from the facility. Elcon has agreed to map the approach route so that trucks will not pass by

schools, nursing homes and hospitals. But the promise only applies to the final stretch to the facility, once in Falls. Nothing has been revealed about the path trucks would take to get to that point, including which roads in New Jersey they would take to get into Pennsylvania. Trucks carrying hazardous material take local roads every day, something that Brodowski and other Elcon opponents admit. But their concern is the concentration of trucks that will exist with a facility in the area. Elcon has said it will receive approximately 20 truckloads of toxic waste every day, and has the capabilities to process 17 of them daily. It has not disclosed how many trucks will leave the Falls facility with freshly treated waste each day. And should there be a spill or accident, the plan to handle it is unclear. Stine said the company has proposed using the driver as the first line of defense. “If a guy is in an accident, he probably won’t be cleaning up spills,” Stine said. Brodowski also worries about an accident during the transportation process, particularly because response could fall on local emergency services departments without the equipment or training to handle hazardous waste. “They’re the first responders,” Brodowski said. “They’re on their own. There’s not going to be any assistance. I didn’t hear anything about special training or increased budget allocations or anything like that. It’s frustrating that it’s looked at in a vacuum, and not the impact it will have on all these compounding other factors.” Despite the large number of missing details about the yet-to-be-built Falls Township facility, Elcon also already has plans to expand it in a second phase of construction. The expansion would double the facility’s size to 140,000 square feet. There are still plenty of questions remaining about Elcon and its quest to build a plant in Falls Township. But one thing is for sure: Elcon has once again met opposition as determined as it is. As history has shown, whether Elcon’s facility becomes reality largely depends on how many local residents decide they want to speak up against it. “People have their opinions about environmentalists,” Brodowski said. “But the reality is if these things aren’t in place, there’s a direct impact on your health and your quality of life. This is a real thing that is happening right in our backyard.”

TWW is meeting federal and state water-quality standards. We are pleased to report that our Disinfection Byproducts Reduction Plan, launched in the second half of 2018, has significantly reduced the levels of Disinfection Byproducts (DBPs), specifically Haloacetic Acids (HAA5s) and Trihalomethanes (TTHMs), in our drinking water. The levels—16.4 and 23.2 micrograms per liter (ug/L) respectively—are now below state and federal Safe Drinking Water Act standards, which are 60 micrograms per liter for HAA5s and 80 micrograms per liter for TTHMs. Take a look at our sampling data from February 2018-2019. We are maintaining water quality, strengthening our day-to-day operations and advancing important capital projects: rolling out our corrosion-control project and our Lead Service Line Replacement Program, which replaces the lead or galvanized water service lines at private residences with safer copper lines. And, we are finalizing the hiring of new customer service representatives to eliminate long hold times for our customers. Water-quality excellence. It’s our sole purpose.

SOLAR continued from Page 1 nergy company officer Steve Durst said the land on Sweet Briar Avenue was the only candidate that fit the criteria. ELSA has room on its own property to fit only 10 percent of the panels needed to make the project viable. “It’s really not an option,” Durst said. He said the solar panels would save ELSA as much as $300,000 per year in the cost of electric power, savings that could potentially reach ratepayers in ELSA’s service area of Ewing and Lawrence townships. The solar farm would also reduce ELSA’s carbon emissions by 2,500 metric tons per year, Durst said. Synnergy applied for New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection approval in 2015, receiving approvals three years later, on Feb. 7, 2018. With the go-ahead from DEP, Synnergy filed with Hamilton Township the last week of March 2018. And that’s where the conflict started. Residents in Cornell Heights and environmentalists from Delaware Riverkeeper Network immediately raised concerns, particularly with the plan to remove hundreds of large trees in an area that has suffered from flooding for years. For backing, they pointed to a Hamilton Township ordinance that says the township can approve applications involving the removal of trees only if the removal would have a minor impact on the surrounding area. “Clearly, it’s a major impact,” said Fred Stine, citizen action coordinator with Delaware Riverkeeper Network. “It

This photo taken by the Army Corps of Engineers on April 16, 2007 shows the intersection of Sweet Briar Avenue and Whitehead Road. will make flooding in that area worse.” Tammy Duffy lives across the street from the proposed site on Sweet Briar Avenue, and she said she has witnessed two 100-year floods in the area in the past 10 years. A 100-year flood is a flood that has a 1-percent chance of occurring in any given year, according to Federal Emergency Management Agency definitions. “It’s scary when that happens,” Duffy said. “You work hard your whole life to

buy a house. I’ve been here 18 years. I don’t want to see it get destroyed.” Hurricane Irene in 2011 was particularly bad, with homes on three streets in Cornell Heights sustaining major damage from flooding, former Hamilton councilman Dennis Pone said. Pone has long been a vocal advocate for Cornell Heights, and even rode his activism on behalf of his neighborhood to a seat on the township council, where he served from 2006 until 2018.

Surrounded by Assunpink Creek and Miry Run, Cornell Heights has long coexisted with water. But Pone traces the origins of the flooding issue to the construction of The Crossings, a high-density housing development built on formerly forested land near the Hamilton train station. He said retention basins at Crossings—built for flood prevention— have failed repeatedly. Synnergy has offered to build similar basins around the solar farm to ease concerns, but residents have rejected the gesture, not believing the basins would work. Pone said one neighbor has lived on Trinity Avenue for 50 years, and never had an issue before The Crossings were built. She now has water in her basement whenever it rains. Synnergy argues the project would not cause flooding, but Pone said he can’t understand how that could be true. With Cornell Heights sandwiched between The Crossings and the proposed solar farm site, Pone worries how bad the flooding could get if hundreds of trees are removed on Sweet Briar Avenue. One large tree can drink 100 gallons of water per day, according to North Carolina State University’s Department of Horticultural Science. “That’s what scares us most,” Pone said. “That’s the biggest help to a floodprone area, large trees.” Meanwhile, the federal government has watched the back-and-forth with interest, with both Rep. Chris Smith (R-Hamilton) and the United States Army Corps of Engineers having been involved for years with flood mitigation

efforts in the area. “[Smith] personally took FEMA officials through the Whitehead and Cornell Heights neighborhood after Hurricane Irene hit in 2011,” a statement from Smith’s office said. “He met with the neighbors and walked through their flooded homes. After helping to get federal aid for recovery, Congressman Smith later asked the Corps to look for a way to help reduce the flooding.” USACE wound up including the Assunpink Creek into a larger project studying the Delaware River. That led to a $500,000 study, paid for by USACE and NJDEP, of how water flows through the area. The study started in late 2014, with the state recently completing its part. USACE plans to complete a list of suggestions this year, Smith’s office said. USACE’s Terry Fowler, who manages the Assunpink project, said the study continues to focus on flooding issues and potential flood risk management measures related to the main stem Assunpink Creek and tributaries in Hamilton, Lawrence and Trenton. “Like all other development in the floodplain, if the solar farm is constructed it will be part of the existing conditions that we take into consideration during our study,” Fowler wrote in an email. Smith’s office struck a similarly balanced tone, saying Smith would “listen, gather information and see if there is any way” he could help everyone involved. An everybody-wins solution seems unlikely now, though. Cornell Heights residents have packed several Hamilton planning board meetings and a township council meeting. Their efforts are directly responsible for the solar farm’s uncertain status.

The plan’s opponents celebrated the decision, particularly because they believe it will make approval less likely. The application would require a two-third majority in order to be approved by the zoning board. It only would have needed a simple majority from the planning board. Synnergy and ELSA have been left to regroup. They have four options: resubmit the application to Hamilton’s zoning board and start from scratch, request the zoning board pick up where planning left off, pursue legal action or simply pull the project. Durst said he hopes everything is resolved properly and peacefully, adding that he doesn’t “ waste time in litigation” unless he’s certain law has been misapplied. Durst met with the ELSA board April 16 to explain “the situation and how we got there.” The project, at the moment, is in a holding pattern. “The status remains as it is,” Durst said April 16. “That’s probably going to be the case for at least a couple weeks more.”

Hamilton West names Class of 2019 Academic Achievers

Al-Mohimine

A panel of teachers, guidance counselors and administrators at Hamilton High School West have selected six seniors as the Class of 2019’s Academic Achievers. Each nominating student has written a testimonial. The Hamilton Post is proud to recognize the students for their achievement.

Mohammad Al-Mohimine, science First of, I would like to thank the faculty members of Hamilton High West for choosing me as the science Academic Achiever for the Class of 2019. Perhaps, it is my rigorous science classes that I take that prompted the faculty members to choose me, or perhaps it could have been my penchant for mentioning how much I love biology. Whatever the case

tion of coping with these problems made me realize that I wanted to help them. I wanted to help other people that were in this same precarious situations. That is why I decided to pursue the pre-med field. By becoming a doctor, more specifically a orthopedist, I can take care of my family and other people which would fill me with gratitude and satisfaction. Becoming a doctor is something that I know will not be easy. It takes years of dedication and focus to even attempt to walk the path of a med school student. But I know that my love for science and the feeling of self-satisfaction I will receive by helping someone will help me stay dilgilant in my studies.

is, I feel greatly honored by having this achievement bestowed upon me. Since the beginning of my academic career, I have had a keen interest in learning about the machinations of the body. How does our body create energy? How are we able to react to events at such blinding speed? I wouldn’t have the chance to answer these questions until I entered my sophomore year. AP Biology was a class that had opened a whole new doorway for me into the world of molecular biology and I knew from there on, I would want to major in that field of study. Even though, I had decided what field I would want to invest my time, I still haven’t decided a career path at that point. However, during those moments in my life, my family members suffered from intense arthritis and other bone problems. Watching them go through the whole tribula-

and math has always been my strong suit. My love of mathematics stems as far back as when I was as young as five years old, when I was counting coins and making change for dollars. Then, it turned into a love of solving word problems in the second grade. This appreciation of numbers led to success and excelling in mathematics and gave me the chance to take Algebra 1 in 7th grade. After taking Geometry in 8th grade and Honors Algebra 2 in 9th grade, I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in mathematics. Later on, I realized that mathematics did not solely include numbers and equations but it also carries a visual representation of those equations as well. This could represent everyday problems and scenarios and be solved through mathematics. Whether it was through finding

everyday objects in parabolic shapes, or graphing equations to be able solve for “x” or “y,” I always enjoyed math. To this day, I still immensely enjoy mathematics and find myself searching for more complex problems. This quest of mathematical knowledge has led me to take practically all of the math courses offered at my school, and on top of that, join the math club. This school year, not only am I taking both AP Calculus BC and AP Statistics, but I am also president of Math Club and Math National Honor Society. Math Club has given me the opportunity to take specially designed tests and compete against other schools in the conference. This has helped to solidify my appreciation of mathematics and helped to prove that I am making the right choice of going into a career involving mathematics. I intend on graduating college as a math teacher so I will be able to work on mathematics for the rest of my life along with teaching our future generations about mathematics.

ACHIEVERS continued from Page 25 mentaries, read books, and listened to podcasts. Little did freshman me know what this interest would spark. Now as a senior, I can proudly say that I own many social studies-aimed books, I have watched every documentary on Netflix that I can find, one of my most prized possessions is a vinyl record containing every speech John F. Kennedy has ever uttered, and I can proudly spit out a random history fact at a moment's notice on anything from the dynasties in China to the Greatest Generation. Social studies became more than a 40-minute period to me, it became a lifelong story that never ends. With each passing minute the story gets longer, another page and another chapter is created that needs to be read.

Kristina Hontz, fine arts

Like most kids, I loved watching cartoons and seeing all these interesting characters interact and live in such a unique, fantasy world. Unlike most kids, however, I loved watching the behind the scenes in between each cartoon show and seeing these creative show producers draw such beloved characters. I thought it was so amazing and magical how these people brought these environments and characters to life with such simple tools like pencils and paper. I knew from then on I wanted to go down a similar path of creating characters that can warp people to a world of imagination and also, most importantly, make people smile. As I got more interested in the subject of art I never realized how much goes into making even just one finished product. The ideas of composition, anatomy, scenery, they all seemed to baffle my mind, and were a little daunting as well. However, the more I practiced and studied these concepts the more I found enjoyment in them. Soon, I was doodling on every page I could find and sketching on them from top to bottom. I started making completed pieces of art that would even be worthy enough to be critiqued and showcased in art festivals and public showings. I even started making characters of my own with their own personalities and sometimes it seemed like they were writing their own

stories. Creating art has become one of my favorite passions and I hope one day I can take my talent and skills and finally make a show that kids and adults will love watching, whether it be drawing for it or creating one myself.

Alyssa Maslowski, business

On my first day of freshman year in high school, I had no idea what career I wanted to pursue. I took a variety of classes in different subject areas, hoping to stumble upon something that would spark my interest. My entire career path changed in sophomore year when I took a semester-long personal finance course. I was fascinated by the idea of managing finances and wanted to explore deeper into the subject of business. Unlike most other academic subjects, business was never a difficult subject for me to grasp. This is because I was fascinated by what I was learning, making it easier for me to pay attention and complete the tests/ quizzes. After finally finding a subject that I was excited to learn, my business classes became my favorite part of the school day. Since that personal finance class, I have taken more than seven business courses and have enjoyed every single one of them. I enjoy them because of my creative side. I have always been one to think outside of the box and use my creativity. When I discovered business, I realized how creativity ties in with all aspects of business. I knew that if I found something that I had fun doing while also learning, I had to pursue it. The subject of business has opened up many new opportunities and experiences for me and has helped me develop as a logical thinker and a well-rounded student. I chose to follow an education centered around business because I believe that it will make me happy. Taking business courses from sophomore year to senior year has made me more excited and determined to learn. I plan on attending a four-year college and majoring in business, specifically marketing. I am eager to see what my future career holds for me and will always be grateful to my high school business courses for introducing me to my favorite subject.

Consultant thinks he found fix for American health care Book makes case for new universal system By Diccon Hyatt The phrase “Medicare for All” is familiar to anyone paying attention to the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries, as numerous candidates have come out in support of it. Once a mainstream political idea in the 1960s, then a radical leftist pipe dream in the 1980s and ’90s, providing government-funded health care to everyone is now mainstream politics again. But what exactly does that mean, and what form should universal health care take? Ed Eichhorn, a health care consultant who lives in Hamilton Township, has a few thoughts on this matter. Eichhorn is in the camp that wants to provide government-funded health care while retaining a role for private insurance companies. He has co-written a book with Dr. Michael Hutchinson, a neurologist, biophysicist, and senior faculty member at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in Manhattan. Their book, “Healing American Healthcare: A Plan to Provide Quality Care for All, While Saving $1 Trillion a Year,” argues that the current patchwork system is woefully expensive and unsustainable. For more information on the book, visit healingamericanhealth care.com. In the first chapter of their book, Eichhorn and Hutchinson argue that a

universal health care system would be cheaper and more effective than the current one. An excerpt follows: A cornerstone of the Declaration of Independence is the statement of an “undeniable” truth: that human rights include life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Yet in regard to one of the most important of human rights, health care, we have failed the aspirations of our founding fathers. Proper provision of health care permits life. Proper provision of health care enables liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Every other advanced country in the world provides high-quality health care for all of its citizens. We do not. Health care in the United States must be a birthright, not a privilege. It is time for us to join the rest of the industrialized world by allowing every American access to high-quality health care while reducing costs to a sustainable level. To accomplish this goal we need to simplify and redesign our complicated, confusing, and disjointed approach to health care by replacing it with real choice in health care: private insurance or a very competitive single-payer national health care system that provides basic coverage for everyone. Concierge medical programs should be allowed to flourish for those who can afford and want them. We need to develop a government funded health care option to compete with health insurance companies for two important reasons. First, providing health coverage for everyone is the right thing to do. Second, replacing our

uncompetitive and unwieldy system will result in large savings for our society that could become an economic driver making our businesses more competitive. In this book as we discuss this option, we will refer to it as Allcare. Prior to the Trump administration’s corporate tax cut, Warren Buffett declared at his annual meeting of Berkshire Hathaway in the spring of 2017 that the biggest problem U.S. businesses face, in competition with corporations overseas, is not the levy of taxes but the cost of health care. He said that over the last 50 years, as a percentage of GDP, corporate taxes have decreased from 4 percent to 1.9 percent while the cost of health care has grown from 4 to 17.1 percent of GDP. The cost of health care is simply out of balance with the rest of our economy, and it continues to grow at an alarming rate. The reason for this is simple. Provision of health care is made largely (although not entirely) through the commercial insurance industry, and these same public companies have a financial incentive to withhold the very service they provide. This perverse fact breaks all the rules of capital-ism. As Christopher Hitchens put it, “the health care business combines the worst aspects of capitalistic greed with the worst excesses of bureaucratic socialism.” We already have a successfully working example of a single-payer system in this country called Medicare. This works much more efficiently than the commer-

cial insurance industry that must employ a vast bureaucracy to reduce outgoing payments in order to make the corporations more profitable. If you already have Medicare, you probably know this. If you do not, then ask your parents or grandparents. In our experience, almost all those with Medicare, whether Democrats or Republicans, like their Medicare. The fact is that Medicare is not run by the government as most people assume. It sets the payment rates and service rules, and the end result is that it is merely financed by the government. Doctors and other providers then compete with each other for patients, and this drives up standards while costs are kept relatively low. Ironically, therefore, Medicare fosters free enterprise, while publicly traded insurance companies depend on bureaucracy and ever-increasing premiums as they increase deductibles and copays to enrich their shareholders at the expense of the patients that they have contracted to serve. A survey conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation in January of 2017 determined that 60 percent of Americans favor single-payer health care. This is the highest positive rate response to a survey on national health care in more than 10 years. Today health care is more than 17 percent of GDP, and from 2008 to 2013, it grew at an annual rate of 3.7 percent. The growth rate for 2014 and 2015 was over 5 percent per year. In 2015 we spent $3.2 trillion on health care. In 1970 the average cost of care for an American citizen

EICHHORN continued from Page 29 fastest-growing sector of our economy, largely due to the complications of billing issues. For example, over the last nine years, the number of professional medical coders has grown from 70,000 to 170,000. The administrative costs in the United States are the highest in the world. We spend 14 percent of all domestic health care spending on administration at insurance companies, hospitals, and doctors’ offices, while the global average is 3 percent. That means that we spend $752 annually for every man, woman, and child on health care administration — over $3,000 for a family of four, and this cost continues to rise every year. This is completely unacceptable. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, who opposes a national health care system, says that with private insurance you can pick your insurance plan and your physician. In a national health system, you would lose your right to choose. This is simply not true. Employer-based insurance provides coverage for more than 150 million Americans. This is the largest segment of insurance coverage in our country. If your physician is not in your employer’s insurance network, you will have out-of-network costs. If you get your insurance through Obamacare, and you select your insurance plan and your physician participates with this plan, there is no guarantee that he or she will stay in that insurance plan for the contracted coverage period. If he or she leaves the network, services that you receive from that physician may or may not be covered by your plan. On the other hand, in a national health insurance system, not only is there essentially one very large provider network, but it is less likely that a physician will leave the network. Recently, Senator Bernie Sanders proposed Medicare-for-All. A growing number of Democratic senators support this concept. The Republicans, on the other hand, want to eliminate Obamacare and reduce the federal budget exposure to the cost of health care. Congress continues to earn extremely low approval ratings for its inability to complete meaningful health care legislation that actually addresses the concerns of average Americans. Historically, many great legislative advances have occurred through compromise. However, with a few notable and courageous exceptions, Republicans and Democrats often line up along their party lines and very little gets done. Republicans in the Senate could not even compromise within their own party as they worked to repeal and replace Obamacare. Compromise and bipartisan initiatives will be needed to address the many problems in health care. As an example of how misdirected the Republican legislative direction was, as Congress struggled to replace the ACA, consider the potential impact of Congressman Paul Ryan’s American Health Care Act according to the Congressional Budget Office. If it had been signed into law, 14 million Americans would have lost their health

care coverage immediately, with another 24 million losing coverage over the next 10 years. The CBO also projected that the bill would result in a 700 percent increase in premiums for 64-year-olds making $26,500 a year. The House and Senate health care bills of 2017 that were intended to repeal and replace the ACA were massive failures. They were simply not about health care. They were about reducing federal spending. They were about funding mechanisms. The Graham-Cassidy bill would have shifted much of the cost and all of the management of eligibility for Medicaid from the federal government to the states. The bills all took different approaches to simply “kick the financial health care can down the road” without addressing the real problem, which is determining how to replace our expensive and inefficient system with a workable, cost-effective approach that improves outcomes while providing universal coverage. Compromise between the Democrats and Republicans might be less difficult if the members of Congress had a better understanding of the problem and the solutions that a single-payer option provides. Leading Democrats want a system that covers all Americans. They would like a single-payer system or a combination of public and private payers that would cover everyone. The Republicans would like to reduce the federal deficit, and it is likely that they feel a more urgent need to do so with the passage of the tax cut of 2018 that is projected to increase the deficit. Efforts to reduce the deficit will likely in part focus on expenditures for Medicare and Medicaid. They also want to give people more choice in health care. All of these goals could be accomplished with a well-designed singlepayer health care option that meets the needs of our society. The Allcare national health care plan based on Medicare would significantly reduce the per capita cost of health care. As Warren Buffett has suggested, lowering the corporate cost of health care will make our businesses more competitive. This will in turn generate more jobs and increase personal and corporate tax revenue. The increase in tax revenue and the reduction in overall health care cost would give the Congress the opportunity to chip away at the national debt. Allcare would simplify cover-age options and would provide more provider choice, not less. Reducing the cost of health care would also reduce out-of-pocket costs of health care, creating more disposable income for consumers. Most importantly, it would improve patient care by improving access and improving out-comes. A solid, well-thought-out, single-payer health care program, with a well-articulated funding plan, will give Congress an opportunity to compromise, and for the first time in many years, they could really address the health care problem. A version of this article appeared in the March 26, 2019 issue of U.S.1 Newspaper.

‘It is a national disgrace we spend twice as much per capita on health care than the average industrialized nation.’

FOOD & DINING

My Quate, Bubbakoo’s bolster Tex-Mex options on Route 33 By Joe Emanski jemanski@communitynews.org This time a year ago, Route 33 from Robbinsville to Mercerville had only one restaurant serving Mexican or Tex-Mex food: Moe’s Southwest Grill, a chain restaurant in the Chipotle mold. Now there are four, and I’d be surprised if there aren’t more by the end of 2019. The latest is My Quate Authentic Mexican Cuisine, which opened in late February in the location formerly occupied by FD Subs. It joins Taco Rito, which opened in Robbinsville’s Town Center last spring, and New Jersey chain Bubbakoo’s Burritos, which moved in to the former Steak ’n’ Shake location in Hamilton Square in November. My Quate is the third restaurant from Franco Ordoñez, owner-operator of Franco’s Taqueria down in Riverside and Palmyra, and the first Tex-Mex joint on Route 33 to have no Chipotle vibe whatsoever. Ordoñez says “quate,” often spelled cuate, is a word meaning pal, friend, hombre. The interior is cheerful, painted bright red and yellow with the odd sombrero on the walls. On one of the days I was there, Mariachi music played in the front of the small dining area, though it

(Staff photos by Joe Emanski.) was drowned out by the TV in the back that was broadcasting a Yes concert. My Quate has all the Mexican favorites we’ve come to expect, from taco salads to burritos to fajitas to enchiladas, plus platters like churrasco, New York strip steak and jumbo shrimp kabob. Though there is a special lunch menu from 11 to 3, you can order from the dinner menu all day. Lunches range in price from $7.99 to $10.99; most dinners are in the $8.99 to

$14.99 range. In general, prices are a tad high compared to other Mexican restaurants in the area—quesadillas and burritos are in the $11.99–$15.99 range—but certainly they are fair when compared to, say, Italian restaurants in the area. When I try a Mexican restaurant for the first time, I go for tacos al pastor, or roast marinated pork. This gives me a baseline by which to compare one place to another. For lunch, My Quate has five taco dishes: ground meat, steak, grilled

chicken, Mexican chorizo and roasted pork. For dinner there are more options, including beef tongue and shrimp. Lunch tacos (two) come with beans (pinto or black) and rice for $8.99 (chorizo is $1 extra). You can get them with onions and cilantro (which is traditional), or lettuce, tomato and cheese (sometimes called americano style). A basket of fried tortilla chips came out almost immediately, accompanied by a sweet, Old El Paso-style salsa. I’ll have more to say about salsa in a bit. The generously portioned tacos came in handmade soft corn tortillas, which was a pleasant surprise. I always prefer soft corn tortillas for my tacos, and while I can’t think of a single Mexican restaurant in the area that hasn’t had good ones, few make the tortillas in house. These were fluffy but sturdy, lightly charred and good. The pork was also good. It was remarkably tender for al pastor, sometimes to the point of pulling apart. The marinade was mild. I squeezed some fresh lime juice over it for an added zest. Shortly before my tacos came, one of the hosts brought out three small squirt bottles of salsa, one red and two green. These were different from the salsa provided with the chips, and more to my

A Bubbakoo’s burrito. (Facebook photo.) liking. The salsa rojo was full of flavor and on the spicier side. One green bottle held traditional salsa verde, the other pureed guacamole. That one was probably my favorite of the three. I liked my refried beans with cotija cheese. The rice, dotted with carrots and peas, was also good. It came topped with shredded cilantro. My Quate also has an extensive breakfast menu, including egg skillets, breakfast burritos and quesadillas, omelets and traditional favorites like huevos rancheros and divorced eggs. All breakfasts are in the $8.99–$10.99 range. I stopped in one morning and ordered a Mexican chorizo and egg skillet ($10.99), which comes with home fries. It was filling and tasty. I enjoyed experimenting with all three salsas. I should add that the coffee ($2) was very good.

I was pleasantly surprised when Franco recognized me and thanked me for coming back. Every time I’ve been there, the staff has been great. My Quate is a welcome addition to a part of Hamilton that lacked this type of food. *** As far as Bubbakoo’s Burritos goes, if you are a fan of Chipotle, Moe’s, Qdoba or Pancheros, then you mostly know what you are in for. In terms of the basics, Point Pleasant-based Bubbakoo’s is pretty much a Chipotle clone. They have tacos, quesadillas, nacho platters and bowls, but burritos are the thing. They set themselves apart by going a little outside the Tex-Mex boundaries with their proteins. Options include hibachi steak, buffalo chicken and fried chicken. Sauces include BBQ, buffalo, sriracha ranch and General Tso’s. To be fair, Bubbakoo’s does what it does pretty well. I ordered a fried chicken burrito with white rice, onions and cilantro, pinto beans, jalapeños and sour cream ($8.75), and I enjoyed it. The rice was more like sushi rice than Mexican style. It was interesting. I don’t recommend ordering traditional-style tacos there, but if you like a big fat burrito for a reasonable price, I do recommend you give Bubbakoo’s a try. If it’s authentic south-of-the-border food you crave, My Quate is the better bet. My Quate Authentic Mexican Cuisine, 731 Route 33, Hamilton. Phone (609) 890-0110. Web: myquatenj.com.

‘Super athlete’ sisters break out for Notre Dame lacrosse By Rich Fisher Sabrina and Nikki Phillips are identical twins who have followed identical paths in their athletic career. Which makes Notre Dame High girls’ lacrosse coach Bryan Fisher twice as happy to have the seniors on his squad. “They’re super athletes,” Fisher said before the season. “They’ve been like sponges, they soak it all in. They have grown so much in our system the last couple of years. This will be a real breakout year for them doing everything—clearing the ball, assisting on goals. I know they’re ready to be a real big part of it all.” The Hamilton Square residents played outside defenders on opposite sides of the field their first two varsity seasons, and both have been asked to continue to do that while also moving up into an offensive-midfield position at times. They have the same responsibilities as each other, which is pretty much The Notre Dame girls’ lacrosse team depends on twins Sabrina and Nikki how it has always been. Phillips.

too much. Once you get nervous and scared of gymnastics, that’s it. We started lacrosse and instantly I loved it.” That being said, they will always be grateful to the early foundation provided by gymnastics. “It was very rough physically and mentally but I am where I am mentally because of gymnastics,” said Nikki, while Sabrina nodded in agreement. “Growing up I was taught from the sport that I need to be determined, I need to work hard if I want to achieve my goals in life. It taught me responsibility; everything I know, the way I work and who I am today.” As freshmen, both played midfield for the Irish JV team. They were dropped to defense and started varsity as sophomores and have never looked back. They have thrived using physicality and athleticism, and have worked hard to improve. “They understand positioning; they’re really difficult to get by,” Fisher said. “They just have gotten better at it every year. Their stick skills have improved. They play club in the summer and dedicate a lot to the game. It’s gonna pay off this spring big time.” The twins showed flashes of scoring ability last year, as Sabrina had five goals and an assist while Nikki had four goals and three assists. But their main role was to defend. “Being the wing, you need to be quick because it’s always back and forth,” Sabrina said. “Since coach Fish saw how

we love to run and how quick we are, that spot worked perfectly. Something gymnastics taught me was quicker foot movements and every event required every part of my body so I felt like running was such a strength.” They have run even more this year as they frequently venture into the attacking zone. “I think doing both is really gonna help me,” Nikki said. “Last year my primary goal was to be better as a defender, to see the field better, to get my footwork better, my positioning as a defender. We didn’t get much time on offense. Now that coach is putting that on us, I’m really ready to take up that goal he’s setting for us.” Sabrina concurred, saying “I’m excited about it. Last year I did some scoring but I thought more about defense. This year I’m hoping to get on both ends equally.” Fisher feels the girls will continue to thrive defensively but will give them the green light to go to goal whenever they see an opening. He didn’t want them to just dabble in scoring, saying, “They’re gonna be a big part of our offense.” Being twins, of course, the girls may start confusing defenders. They have already gotten double takes from the opposition’s attackers. “All the time,” Sabrina said. “They’ll look at least once a game like “Wait, didn’t I just see that girl?” The Phillips will continue to confuse foes in college as they have opted to attend national Division III power The College of New Jersey. “It took us a little time to decide,”

Senior Wiltsey leads the way for West baseball By Rich Fisher Justin Wiltsey admits it. He’s a bit of a clock watcher. “I wait for 2:30 every day,” the Hamilton West senior said. “I’m like, ‘Man, I can’t wait to get out there and play and get on the field and practice.’ I’m always up and ecstatic. I always have energy no matter what. I just have a really strong passion for the game.” Lest his teachers fret, however, Wiltsey is paying attention in class. “Yes I am,” he said. “I got my head in the books.” He also has his head on straight when it comes to baseball, which is something that the Hornet coaches have harped on for the past several years. Wiltsey had a stellar career for the Hamilton Little Lads and came up with some big performances for the Hamilton Babe Ruth All-Stars. Thus, when he arrived on the Hamilton varsity as a freshman, he expected the success to automatically continue. “My freshman year I was thinking I was gonna just come out and play the outfield and be a very good pitcher,” Wiltsey said. “I had an attitude that wasn’t successful at all. I realize that now and I’ve definitely matured.” Wiltsey says it was a matter of evolving. “It kind of just grew on me,” Wiltsey said. “Once you get older you start to

learn stuff and realize enough is enough, and you just have to do what you have to do.” Coach Mike Moceri, who was an assistant when Wiltsey joined the team, felt he was also given a slight push. “There were times when he was young, during his freshman and sophomore year, we got on him a little bit,” Moceri said. “I think it finally just sunk in. Last year, this year, he worked his butt off in the offseason in the weight room. He helped get our guys in the weight room. We did harp on it a lot his freshman and sophomore year, and he finally matured and figured it out. You can ask him that too, he’ll be the first one to say it.” Actually, Wiltsey did not quite agree with that assessment, as he felt he was still figuring it out during his junior season. “I had a lot of growing to do last year,” he said. “It’s hard when you don’t play that much. Last year I was very immature. I was 16 and I was acting as a child. Eventually when I turned 17 I said ‘Listen, I really want to be a leader.’” Wiltsey’s growth was apparent within the first week of this season. For the first time, he is being counted on as one of Hamilton’s front line pitchers after compiling a 3-3 record his first three seasons. He was a regular outfielder last year but only hit .226. Wiltsey got the opening-day call on

(Photo by Rich Fisher.) the mound this year in a big-time situation, as the game was played under the lights on Patriots Night at Veterans Park against archrival Steinert. It was a big

crowd, and Wiltsey allowed four runs in one-plus inning as the Hornets fell, 5-3. “It was our opening game, and especially since it was against Steinert, the blood was flowing, and I was little anxious on the mound,” Wiltsey said. “I was trying to do too much. I just had to throw free and easy.” But he did collect a double and single at the plate and continued his sweet stroke over the next four games as he was hitting .333 with four runs and two RBI in Hamilton’s 4-1 start. He also came back in his second mound start and allowed two earned runs and struck out eight in four plus innings in a win over Nottingham. “I wanted to make up for last time,” Wiltsey said. “I wanted to locate better. My offspeed was very good today.” Most importantly for Hamilton is that Wiltsey did not let his poor openingnight pitching carry over. “That would have stuck with me last year,” he admitted. “I probably would have gone 0-for-13. It would definitely have carried on for the games after that.” Wiltsey does not consider himself a pitcher who hits, or a hitter who pitches, saying “I am straight down the middle. You put me out in the outfield I’ll do the job. Put me on the mound I’ll get the job done. Put me at the plate, I’ll get the job done.” Along with several Hornet teammates, Wiltsey was a key member of last

summer’s Broad Street Park team that won the New Jersey American Legion State Championship. His uncle, Joe Wiltsey, was nice enough to help purchase rings for the team, which Justin said, “meant so much to me, that just warmed my heart.” During the title run, Kyle Harrington (now playing for Post 313 coach Mike Petrowski at Rowan College at Burlington County) put the team on his back, and Wiltsey took notice. “Kyle Harrington actually showed me what a leader is and what a leader should do,” Wiltsey said. “I basically took that and brought it here. I take that to heart. I love to show my teammates what a leader should be. I feel like I have the emotions and what it takes to do that.” His words are backed up by his coach and teammate. “He’s like the big brother in the family,” senior outfielder Bryce Egan said. “He keeps us in check. He just leads us.” Moceri agreed, saying, “Justin is just a flat out leader. When things aren’t going right, he’s the guy stepping up and kind of taking the role of a coach at times. He’s getting on guys the right way when he needs to. He’s keeping us together. Again, he is a totally different person from when he first started here until now; just the way he carries himself. The kids respect him. That’s what

you need from a captain/leader.” As far as his goals this year, Wiltsey is hoping to bat over .300 out of the cleanup spot, and is looking to win as many starts as possible. “I knew this year I was gonna have to start working on (pitching) in the off-season,” he said. “I’m throwing a little harder, my slider has a little late action on it, my change is looking nice.” So is his future, as former Hamilton resident and minor league player Keith Naylor hooked Wiltsey up with New Jersey City State University, which is where he hopes to play next year. “Keith Naylor actually helped me get into the school,” Wiltsey said. “He knew the coach, called him up, and I went to go see the school. He said he wanted to recruit me. One of the coaches came to the Steinert game. I didn’t pitch that well, but I hit the ball well. They still want me to pitch and play the outfield.” Considering Wiltsey’s passion for the game, playing college ball will continue to feed his desire. Before that, however, he is anxious to see what this year’s Hornets team can accomplish. “I’m very excited for the rest of the season,” he said. “We can’t get too high on ourselves; just stay where we need to be and keep working to get the job done.” And hope that 2:30 doesn’t take too long to arrive.

Donnelly becomes 1st 100-goal scorer in Stars’ history By Rich Fisher The performance on the field is entertaining. The numbers it produces on paper are staggering. As of April 10, in her three-plus years with the Nottingham High girls’ lacrosse team, senior Michaela Donnelly produced goals in every game she played and had scored 53 percent of the Northstars’ goals during her career. She started with 29 out of 53 (55 percent) her freshman year, tallied 28 of 64 as a sophomore (44 percent), and collected 29 of 55 the next year (53 percent). Through the Stars first three games this season, she had 22 of the team’s 30 goals (73 percent). On April 8, she became the first Northstar to score 100 career goals and the first to hit double figures in a game when she scored all 10 Nottingham goals in loss to Lawrence. “She broke her own record of six in one game,” coach Matt Paglione said. “She’s just gonna keep breaking her own records.” What’s truly impressive is that despite the fact Nottingham went 7-25 during her first three seasons, Donnelly never thought about transferring to a prep or private school to increase her visibility, which is common these days. She puts more stock in enjoying the experience than getting recognition.

“Since my freshman year, with the coaches and teammates, we really love each other, we’re family,” Donnelly said. “I wouldn’t want to leave it for the world.” Paglione feels fortunate that Donnelly has stuck around, and feels it gives her a nice balance between high-intensity club lacrosse and a fun atmosphere. “I know her travel league is where she’s gonna get the looks for college,” the coach said. “It’s good for her to be able to come out here and be the instructor, let loose a little bit and know it’s not so scrutinized and she’s not so closely followed (by recruiters). She can go out there and maybe take a few more forced shots than in travel because she knows she’s kind of a dominant player for us. It lets her see the game from another angle.” An angle that she enjoys, but not to the point of slacking off. “It’s a little more relaxed,” Donnelly said. “But you still want to keep the competitiveness in practice and during the games.” Donnelly’s career started when she saw a friend playing lacrosse and became interested. She was a softball/ soccer player at the time but did some research and began playing in the Allentown Dragons recreation league. To watch her then, no one would believe it was the same player as now. “I was not too good at first,” she said.

Nottingham girls’ lacrosse senior Michaela Donnelly holds the ball with which she scored her 100th goal for the Northstars. (Photo by Rich Fisher.) “It was a little frustrating. I couldn’t catch the ball, couldn’t cradle the ball. I could really just run up and down the field, that’s about it. About halfway through my first season, I started to be able to catch a little more easily. My

throwing started to improve, and by the end of the season I was able to cradle with my left hand. After my first season there, I picked it up pretty quickly and from then on had a history with it.” The following year, Donnelly successfully tried out for the DEWLAX girls’ travel program and played there for two years. She then tried out for three travel teams and made each one, but decided to play for Ultimate Lacrosse because it was more established and included some of her friends. Her freshman season at Nottingham coincided with Christie Fink’s first year as head coach. The recently inducted Steinert Hall of Famer, who is now Paglione’s assistant, could see right away that Donnelly stood out. “She took on a leadership role as a freshman,” Fink said. “Even at practice, she helps out, she’s stepped up and developed into an unbelievable player.” Most importantly, she has never put herself above her teammates. “Not at all,” Fink said. “She’s the most humble kid in the world and deserves every honor she gets.” Paglione inherited Donnelly last year and not only raves about her playing ability, but her knowledge of the game. “Whether we’re going over plays or talking about different techniques and skills and things to do, she’s the first one to step up and demonstrate and lead by example at practice,” the coach

said. “If it’s in a game, we have a lot of things we have to instruct and only get a couple timeouts. She kind of takes over that coach’s role on the field and if the other team scores a goal, she huddles the team together, talks about positioning, which girl’s gotta slide, those type things.” Much of her knowledge comes from doing her homework. “She knows the girls in the county really well,” Paglione continued. “She does her own scouting report basically, knows which girls are going left or right, how the defense needs to be oriented, which girls to stop and who to look out for. On offense, it’s the same thing. If she sees one defender is a little weaker than the other she’ll be telling Maddie (Lippincott), ‘Set the pick over here so I can try and get free,’ and take advantage of the mismatch if she sees it. “She’s got good vision and she’s a very good communicator. She makes my job a lot easier. When she doesn’t score the goal, she probably had the assist or set the screen to get it.” Donnelly embraces the role of being a leader and instructor. She still remembers rec teammates helping her out at the start and knows how important it is to younger players. “I like being able to grow the sport,” she said. “There’s a lot of hope here, especially the underclassmen. We have some great talent. Hopefully in the coming years we’ll continue to grow.” Although Donnelly has outstanding individual skills, she credited her teammates for her 100 goals. “It’s just a really great milestone, and I couldn’t have done it without their help,” she said. “We really work well together and it just means a lot they go out there and support me.” Paglione felt the same way. Opponents obviously give added attention to Donnelly, which means the Northstars must find a way to get her into scoring situations. “Some of the other girls have done a good job to set picks and get girls open,” Paglione said. “They’re good team-

mates, they look to get her open. They know their jobs are to be a decoy or set the screen or whatever it is to get her open so she has the ball and gets that one on one scenario. Her teammates look out for her and she’s made good relationships with some of these girls.” When Donnelly has to do it alone, she is fun to watch. Like many players her size (she’s 5-feet tall), she feels her limited height can be an attribute because it makes her hard to track. “Lacrosse is one of those sports where height doesn’t really matter,” Donnelly said. “I find that quickness, little inside steps really help you get around defenders, especially when they’re so much taller than you. It’s hard to play defense against someone a lot shorter than you.” It helps that Donnelly has an innate ability to dodge; possesses a powerful shot from the outside and can finesse her shot close to the goal. It is those qualities that have her going to Rowan University next fall, along with Lawrence High 100-goal scorer Sarah Berardi. Donnelly was turned on to the Profs by an assistant coach at Ultimate, who also played and coached at Rowan. Fink played soccer at Rowan and has long been a fan of lacrosse coach Lindsay Delaney. “I decided to reach out to the coach, see the campus, meet the girls,” Donnelly said. “It just kind of reminded me of Nottingham and my club team and family. It’s competitive, but they’re always doing stuff together outside lacrosse. And I found out a month or two later that Sarah was going there, so I’m excited about that.” Donnelly plans on majoring in biology and is toying with becoming a trauma surgeon. Whatever she ends up doing, she will have left a legacy at Nottingham. “Other girls have probably come out for our team just to have the chance to play with her,” Paglione said. Fink added that, “She has gotten the program to where it is now.” Which is an attribute that goes well beyond staggering statistics.

Diszler takes aim at 2 records for Steinert track and field By Rich Fisher By doing her job, Kristin Jacobs is plotting her own demise. Well, that may be a slight exaggeration, but she is trying to help Emily Diszler bring down a Steinert record that Jacobs has owned for 23 years. Jacobs and Doug Cooper serve as the throws coaches for the Spartans track & field team, with Jacobs overseeing the girls at actual meets. By mid-April Diszler, a senior, was 1 foot, 10 inches from breaking her coach’s record in the shot put, which is 36 feet, 4 inches set in 1996. The Diz Kid crept ever closer on opening day this spring when she threw a personal record of 34-7 in taking first against Lawrence. “I say 23 years is plenty long enough, go ahead and break it,” Jacobs said. “It would make my year.” What would make it even more is if Diszler did it at this year’s Mercer County Championships. Jacobs remembers breaking the record on May 11, 1996, which was the Saturday of the Mercer Meet. This year’s counties are on May 11. “How cool would that be if she could win the meet and break the record on the exact same day?” Jacobs said. “If anyone breaks it, I would love it to be her.” The two have formed a special bond over the years, as Diszler also played basketball for Jacobs. But just to show she doesn’t play favorites, Diszler is also gun-

ning for Mariah Greco’s discus record of 116 feet, which was set just a few years ago. Diszler was at 109-7 by mid-April. She also throws the javelin, but only at dual meets, as that is her least favorite event. It has been a slow and steady rise for the former softball player, whose father, Bob, was a catcher for the Steinert baseball team in the 1980’s. Diszler was in love with softball up through middle school, but by eighth grade, she said, she didn’t love it as much anymore. Her elder sister, Sarah, had a friend who threw for the track team, and she convinced Emily to give it a shot. There was never any doubt what events she would attempt. “I’ve never really been a big fan of running,” she said. “I went right into throwing and I loved it.” Her freshman season was one of learning and growing. At first, she enjoyed javelin but not discus. “But as soon as I started to improve in disc, that’s when it really clicked that it was the sport for me,” she said. Diszler qualified for the Central Jersey Group III sectional meet in discus as a freshman and, although she did not have a great performance, she got to see some great athletes in action. Things started to improve the next year. “My sophomore year was the first year I realized I could do good things with [discus],” she said. She didn’t

of 109-7 and eighth in the shot with a 31-9.25. She also advanced to the Group III state meet for the first time as she threw a third-place mark of 107-9 in the discus at sectionals. Diszler finished 12th at states with a 105-5, but her entire season was considered an accomplishment since she had only started throwing three years earlier. “It was a great feeling,” Diszler said. “I’ll never forget last year in counties I had my best throw, my 109. It was the best feeling. My whole family was there, everyone gave me a big hug. It was awesome.” Although she did not advance, Diszler finished eighth in shot at the sectionals. “I definitely grew a lot in shot put last year,” she said. “I only started throwing shot my sophomore year. Last year we had two freshmen, they were both trying to beat me. The three of us were competing the whole year. It was nice to have that competition. Without them I don’t think I would have succeeded as much.” The freshmen were Hope Mauro and Liyah Hoagland-Allen. Unfortunately, one moved away and one was injured this season, so Diszler has been more or less on her own. It did not seem to matter at the outset. In Steinert’s first three dual meets against Lawrence, Hopewell and Robbinsville, Diszler won all three discus events and had two firsts and a second in the shot. She also had two seconds and a

FIGHT IN THE MUSEUM

Nine questions with Leni Paquet-Morante By Thomas Kelly Welcome to the new monthly column spotlighting an area artist. The title of the column, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fight in the Museum,â&#x20AC;? speaks of the struggles artists face to get their work completed and out for people to see. It is inpsired by a piece of mine of the same name that was collected early in my career. This month, we meet Leni PaquetMorante. She is a landscape painter who resides in Hamilton. Her broad brushstrokes and earthy colors work to show the beauty of the natural lands that she sees around us. Morante was born in Quebec, and grew up in Baltimore. She came to Hamilton to study sculpture at the Johnson Atelier at age 21. She has been living in the area since 1989. Morante has recently taken the leap to paint and work on her art full-time. Prior to that, for the last 10 years, she worked as a project coordinator and office manager for an architectural and fine arts metal shop in Hopewell. What is most fun about being an artist? The thrill of creating a new work that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of, that seems to have pushed forward of what I knew I could do, keeps me going. What are you communicating with your art? At first glance, my paintings are about trees. In practice though, my aim is a painterly one, to express myself and my world through an approach where brushstrokes and the colors are equal players to the forms they are describing. What fight/struggle do you have regarding your art? Studio space? Money? Physical limitations? The biggest struggle wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any of those, but rather making the leap toward doing it full-time. It required a perfect storm of financial support from sales, moral support from family and friends, and most importantly being very brave. After all, this is both a very private and very public enterprise. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a balancing that requires diligence and faith. Who were you influenced by?

A lot of artists struggle to find their own style. How long do you feel it took you to find your own voice? I recall at 17 years old, in a class of very talented students and an inspiring teacher, I tended to go my own way. Though I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand at the time, that was the beginning of knowing I had my own vision. My work since then has been sculptural and two-dimensional, and mainly abstract and/or conceptual in nature. It took 30 years to get back to landscape as a painter. What do collectors commonly say about your work? That it looks even better in person. I also get comments about a kind of calm that the work transmits, which is what they want in their homes or offices. What local attractions do you love? I like to go to the Abbott Marshland, Rosedale Park, and the Sourland Mountains. As for local museums, the NJ State Museum has a lovely collection of American paintings, as does the Princeton University Art Museum. For a nice meal locally, my husband and I enjoy the Mariachi Grill in Mercerville. What are you looking forward to? I will be showing/selling my paintings at the well-known Rittenhouse Square Art Show in Philadelphia, June 7-9. I will be having a solo exhibition at Johnson and Johnson headquarters in New Brunswick Nov. 11- Dec. 20. For more on Morante and her work, go online to lenimorante.com.

Give Your Child the Gift of Dance Hamilton artist Leni Paquet-Morante paints landscapes, such as the one depicted in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Orchard Prunings in Snow, Terhune.â&#x20AC;? Earliest images were of ancient and primitive art which surrounded me at my grandmotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s private school. As a teenager, Turnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small seascapes entranced me. Later it was Franz Kleinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bold black and white paintings. In Turnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work, I saw that edges could be barely defined. With Kleinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, I understood that there was beauty in junctures. What is your process? I seek out landscapes that convey intimacy of space, and then re-interpret them through somewhat altered perspective and composition. It used to be that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be drawn to a bit of light peeking through some trees as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d commute

to work, and then hop out with a camera. Now that I have more time, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take a sketchpad along, search out and explore those locations. My return to drawing has been especially rewarding, and I approach it as cross-training for a better result in my canvases. The better I can understand the existing forms, the better I can translate them.

complex simplicitY

The countdown to classic rock countdowns By Peter Dabbene Memorial Day weekend is marked by tradition—most obviously, the tradition of remembering those who’ve died in military service. But also, the widespread sounds of classic rock radio countdowns. I grew up in 1980s New York with not one, but two big “classic rock” format radio stations: 92.3 WXRK (which also had Howard Stern in the mornings), and a solid switch-to-during-commercials backup in 102.7 WNEW. There weren’t many palatable radio alternatives at the time; the term “alternative”, as applied to music, hadn’t even been invented yet—that genre was still called “college rock”. Rap was just beginning to find a wider audience, and the FM radio dial was dominated by the pure, sugary pop of Michael Jackson and Madonna, or “oldies” stations that, if they were feeling daring, might play some early Beatles. Thus, I cut my teeth on Pink Floyd, The Doors, The Who, and the rest of the clearly defined classic rock oeuvre, including “newer” bands like Van Halen, U2, and The Police. This choice was reinforced at every turn by older brothers, and by the soundtracks at roller rinks, arcades, and bowling alley birthday

parties. After four years of college prep English classes and exposure to Shakespeare, Melville, and Dostoyevsky, I chose to quote a Led Zeppelin song in my senior high school yearbook. Eventually, I expanded my musical tastes and all but stopped listening to the radio, but classic rock was always ready to welcome me back whenever I needed something familiar. Over time, I grew to love the unashamed cheesiness of Styx, the bluecollar perfection of George Thorogood, the one-hit wonderment of Thin Lizzy, Norman Greenbaum, and The Romantics. I never lost my enthusiasm for a good classic rock countdown, and part of the appeal lay in classic rock’s clearlydefined limits: The Allman Brothers and Lynryd Skynyrd marked the southern boundary, while New York drew a line in the sand with Billy Joel and The Ramones. There were sure stops, and ready band names, in Chicago, Boston, and even Kansas (because “Topeka” just doesn’t have the same pizzazz). Brief excursions to America, Asia, and, under the right circumstances, Europe, were also occasionally acceptable—though the latter only for the “final” countdown. Some countdowns stuck with the longweekend friendly figure of 500 songs;

others worked their unique station ID or frequency into the mix, with New York’s Q104.3 playing the top 1043 classic rock songs, and the University of Pennsylvania’s 88.5 WXPN tabulating the 885 all-time greatest (and perhaps more entertainingly, the 88 worst). The language of a countdown’s title might change slightly—”best” songs, “most influential”, “biggest”—but the content was usually the same. Though driven by annual listener votes, I once considered such canonical lists, and the songs on them, as mainstays— anchors in the ebb and flow of a fickle music-listening public’s changing tastes. Every year, “Stairway to Heaven” would be the number one song, and all would be right with the world. But somewhere along the line, things seemed to change. Kiss and Bon Jovi made their way onto the playlists of stations that 20 years earlier would have led record-burning crusades against them. As time passed, songs from the 1990s began to appear, a phenomenon I’m not necessarily against—I prefer Alice in Chains to Alice Cooper, and Soundgarden’s “Spoonman” to Heart’s “Magic Man”, ZZ Top’s “Sharp Dressed Man”, or even Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man”. But the current state of countdowns seems to be confusion—what’s classic rock, and what isn’t? Does Aretha Franklin qualify? The Grateful Dead? Tears for Fears? Living Colour? Faith No More? Radiohead? The White Stripes? What about Frank Zappa, conspicuously absent from such lists, in perpetuity? A longtime classic rock countdown staple is “American Pie” by Don McLean, in which a live folk singer croons about dead rock’n’roll singers— which is, apparently, close enough. Though it’s sometimes only clear in retrospect, time does bring change—in 1987, WNEW’s top 1027 songs of all time featured Billy Idol, Cyndi Lauper, and Kenny Loggins in the top 100, with The Thompson Twins and The Go-Gos in the top 200; you’d be hard-pressed to find them on any such list today. Chicago’s 1982 WLS “Rock Hall of Fame” top 500 included Dolly Parton, Barbra Streisand, Debby Boone, The

Bee Gees, and Neil Diamond, and the same goes for them, only more so. Tastes also differ as one looks farther afield, and geographical preferences in classic rock have been the subject of extensive analysis at the statistics-driven website fivethirtyeight.com. Idaho’s 96.9 (“The Eagle”) top 500 includes most of the 1980s “hair bands” that once drew snickers from classic rock purists: Poison, Ratt, Motley Crue, or Warrant’s “Cherry Pie”, anyone? New Zealand’s “The Rock” radio station offers a harder-edged countdown than most, with Dire Straits, Fleetwood Mac, and The Cranberries within its 2018 top 50, but a top 10 that includes Pantera, Rage Against the Machine, Tool, and a band from New Zealand I’d never heard of, called Shihad. That kind of obvious local bias is one of the things that makes comparisons between lists interesting. 102.9 WMGK’s Philly 500 regularly includes the homegrown Philadelphia band The Hooters, who are typically absent from countdowns anywhere else in the country. Do they deserve their Philly 500 placement? I would say yes, my sister-in-law no. And it’s these kinds of questions that get people talking, or more often, arguing. Luckily, like most things that matter in America, we get to vote on it—a bit of democracy, subject to listener passions and quirks, rather than algorithms and statistical analyses. Notch a tally for one of the traditionally top-ranked songs If you want to back a winner, but I’d encourage radio listeners to exercise their option to “write in” a vote for something weird or unknown—a song you love, but haven’t heard on a classic rock countdown before. Because when all is said and done, what’s classic is simply whatever we decide it is. Peter Dabbene is a Hamilton-based writer. His website is peterdabbene.com.

she said, she said Saying goodbye to our sweet, gassy buddy By Samantha Sciarrotta ssciarrotta@communitynews.org I knew Zaga would be ours as soon as I saw him. Well, a picture of him. It had been two years since my family lost our last dog, Rok, in 2012. Rok was a surprise from my mom and stepdad— we adopted him in when I was in fifth grade, and he made it all the way until the year I graduated college. He was a big guy, and, as a rottweiler, he could be intimidating, but he was a mischievous, playful sweetheart who loved everybody he met. We knew it would take time to process his death before we thought about getting another dog. When we saw a pet rescue Facebook post featuring Zaga in early 2014, it felt like a sign. He looked noble and regal and full of love. And he was all of those things and more right up until we said goodbye to our sweet, gassy buddy at the end of March. Zaga had quite a backstory. He lived in Queens, New York, with a human family and a cat for most of his life. When they moved out of the country, though, they left Zaga and the cat behind. Their landlord took care of the pair for about a year, but eventually, it became too much. Both pets were surrendered to an animal shelter, and Zaga ended up at a local pet rescue. That’s how we found Zaga, a rottweiler between 5 and 8 years old who just needed a loving home to spend his golden years. We like to think he knew he was with his people as soon as he walked into our house. That first day and night, he slept and slept, totally at peace. That peace did not last long. Zaga had a lot of anxieties and seemed to be terrified of abandonment. He expelled a variety of bodily fluids every time we left the house the first few months he was with us. He jumped onto the kitchen counter and knocked a fresh tub of homemade soup onto the floor. He barked at neighbors and new visitors. But those were just growing pains. He spent a year almost totally alone after the only family he knew left him, and now he was living in a new house in a state with four strangers—there was a lot to adjust to! Eventually, though, he grew less wary of new people (unless, of course, you are a veterinarian) and absolutely attached to us, especially my mom. He loved to be pet, and if you stopped for even a second, he would paw your hand right back over to his belly or his back or behind his ears. It was impossible to say no to his big puppy-dog eyes. Petting him was always the first thing I did before and after leaving the house—there is no better de-stresser than hugging a dog, and Zaga loved the attention. We never knew exactly how old Z was, but we had an idea once he started to grow a little gray “beard.” Like many large dog breeds, rottweilers are prone

Zaga had always been pretty lazy— he was never one to play fetch or sprint around the yard or go on long walks. to hip dysplasia, joint issues and leg weakness as they age, and over the last couple of years, we started to notice those problems progress in Zaga. He needed to be helped up and down the stairs. We covered our kitchen floor with rugs because he slipped and slid around the tiles. He had always been pretty lazy—he was never one to play fetch or sprint around the yard or go on long walks— but he became very noticeably sleepy and sluggish. Unless he was eating or outside, he was asleep. He constantly licked every surface he touched—the floor, his bed, himself—and we later

found out that this was his way of dealing with internal pain we didn’t know he was feeling. We knew we only had a limited number of years with Zaga. Nobody knew how old he actually was, but it was clear he wasn’t a puppy. Still, every time a new health problem cropped up (and there were many), we’d hope it wasn’t serious. We knew his time would come eventually, but we never felt like it was close. I think all of those feelings come concurrent with adopting a senior dog. You know what you’re getting into, on one hand, but on the other hand, you still want as much time with your pup as possible. The gradual decline that welcomes dogs into old age seems to happen at lightspeed. You desperately want to ignore it or slow it down, but you know it can’t be done. All you can do is make it a little easier on them. I like to think we did that for Zaga. The day Zaga died, I came home from work and fell asleep on the floor with him, scratching his head. He wasn’t exhibiting any strange symptoms, and there was no indication that this was our last day with him, but something told me to savor it. I played with his ears. The sound of his breathing almost lulled me

into a trance. It was a perfectly peaceful 15 minutes, and I’ll always treasure it. Later that night, my mom and stepdad took Zaga to the vet for what seemed like a few minor symptoms. But an x-ray showed a mass on his chest, and we knew it was time. It’s a strange thing to have a dog one minute and not the next. It’s cliche, but the silence is deafening. Little noises and quirks that wove themselves into the fabric of our daily routines disappeared in a snap. I still expect to see him lying next to my mom in the morning or hanging out in his bed when I get home from work. We all do. I feel a pang in my chest when I think about all of the ways our house has changed, but I’ve decided it’s a good thing to reminisce. Our time with Zaga was an experience, but all the stress and worry was worth the love he brought into our home. I hope he felt safe and loved in his twilight years. He changed our lives for the better. I hope he knew. Samantha Sciarrotta is events editor of the Hamilton Post. She is a lifelong Hamilton resident.
